I dont get it. How is this so much better than having a, say, rtf document template on your own computer and emailing attachments from there? Or if you want to email a pdf there's printing to e.g cute pdf.

It reduces chances of calculation mistakes as it calculates total amount for you whereas you would need to do it manually in a document template.

>calculates total amount for you //

Pretty basic to do that in a LibreOffice or Word doc isn't it (certainly is in LO).

yep I agree. The premise is that one has to totally unable to create a template with your favorite Office tool. Heck you could do that in Excel and that's already an insult.

This is completely useless without a system behind.
